Vehicle Whores

the larger vehicles you can prone and let the b*stards drive over you. The smaller ones have given me plenty of kills when I hose them down.

'[R-DEV wrote:JavaMoose']What would happen, IRL, if a USMC Soldier ran over an Insurgent with his HMMV? Wonder if that has ever happened...

I have heard stories from friends that even children have been pushed in front of US vehilces for media effect. US soldiers, running over Iraqi children? Damn that would look bad under any circumstance. I cannot confirm this but was told it by someone I have no reason to distrust.

If you can get some distance with a buggy, opening fire on it w/ an m249 or RPK74 does the trick rather quickly.

Precisely.

@Gran, sadly that doesn't surprise me at all.

The reason people never play AT os because of the wep. Like I suggested in another post, maybe we should give them a little more powerful pistol like the 1911, USP, or P226 .40 so they will play it more. Just a little change of something will get people to try it out and they might come to like it. But vehicle spawns should be upped especially on a level like Steel Thunder, Dragon Valley, and Kubra etc.

technically a pistol like 92SF with standard 9mm FMJ round shouldn't be able to penetrate standard body armour worn by soldiers at all. Let's say we're talking a very near future condition then the US marines should be fully equipped with interceptor armours, and MEC should have a similar body armour. Heck some of the current US soldiers have dragon skin armour and if u can't penetrate the armour with 9mm point blank i am quite certain u won't do any better at any other range.

Now i am not the best expert, but even dedicated AT infantries... armed with just a sidearm?? If we're talking a near future conflict, a PDW sure won't hurt instead of a pistol.

No they are a Middle Eastern Coaliton. A coalition of wealthy middle eastern states, some of whom have bought Western weapons.

Thats why Spec Ops EP brought in the Insurgents.

LOL, I was being an ***, my apologies. I think taking vehicles out of the smaller maps is the best way to resolve this issue. Look at CAV units. They disembark from thier armor and move through areas on foot to clear buildings and such.

Map suggestion
OASIS
Add More oil Dericks for troops to hide behind.

u know what's sad? if the MEC do somehow exist and if they actually are as rich as they sounds like and starts equipping their soldiers with market available armour, then they would actually be better armoured than the US soldiers right now.
